JETS FROM YOUNG STARS: RADIATIVE MHD SIMULATIONS

摘要

With the recent improvements in available observational data, simulating the radiative processes in YSO jets will provide a valuable tool for model discrimination. The present work describes the various strategies for the implementation of radiative cooling losses in a time-dependent manner to MHD simulation codes, with an emphasis on the code we use, PLUTO. Post-processing routines for the realistic computation of emission lines are now available. Preliminary results of the 1D modelling of the HH30 jet with synthetic emission line ratios computations is presented.
